More quotes by Michael Caine
The three actors I admire the most are all dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and the French actor, Jean Gabin. They're all very natural, sort of masculine without being overly macho.
Michael Caine
I'm not a betting man, and even if I was, I certainly wouldn't bet on this! I would not bet on the Best Actor.
Michael Caine
When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.
Michael Caine
I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.
Michael Caine

You cannot have one bathroom. And it don't matter how much you love your wife and everything, 'cause you wind up with no room at all. You just get a little corner and you've got a toothbrush and your paste and a shaving brush and a razor. And you can never get in there. So you must have two bathrooms. You really must. I think it's essential.
Michael Caine
When it comes to politics, I believe you have to cut the cake so that everybody gets a piece, but at the same time, you have to keep in mind that somebody has to make the cake.
Michael Caine
Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day.
Michael Caine
The standing ovation threw me. ... To be held in such regard in a town so full of talent is quite something.
Michael Caine
I'm very, very family oriented. I'm a big cook and a good connoisseur and I only drink very good red wines now.
Michael Caine
Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
Michael Caine
I come from the slums I come from a hard background I come from a poor family and I was a soldier.
Michael Caine
I am in so many movies that are on TV at 2:00 a.m. that people think I am dead.
Michael Caine
Obsession is a young man's game, and my only excuse is that I never grew old.
Michael Caine
You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.
Michael Caine
I admired Marlon Brando as I grew up. I though he was one of the finest screen actors around.
